Many of our staff have signs on the rear window of their cars. Do You Know 3 Things God Can Not Do?
Pedro saw one of those signs and phoned the home office. Diana (SOS office manager) directed the phone call to Tom who talked to Pedro who was having thoughts of suicide.
Tom led Pedro to the Lord on the phone then Tom called a local pastor who immediately went to see Pedro.
Pedro is doing much better and now wants to grow in the Lord.
God brings people to SOS who need salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee:behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Pedro Saved on Telephone
February 19, 2015Happy Birthday
October 29, 2014
Today is Tom Curtis’ birthday. He is 78 years old. His life has been a life of joys and hardships. In 1980 he was saved after the death of his son, Nick.
Nick was playing at home with friends when a gasoline can tipped over and another kid through a match at him. He was burned over 80% of his body and lived for 3 months. The last day of Nick’s life he asked his Dad this question, “Dad, do you know Jesus Christ personally?”
Tom answered, “Nick, there is no way to know Jesus, He is dead.”
Nick replied, “Dad, I know Him.” And that was the last words Nick spoke, he died.
Tom was a broken man. Nine years later he was invited to church and heard the Gospel for the first time and was saved.
Tom has followed the Lord faithfully since that day and has been a successful businessman, father, grandfather, husband and friend to many.
His heart’s desire has been to be a witness to everyone he meets and together with his wife founded SOS Events Ministry.
Thousands of souls have been saved through Tom’s life and ministry.
Happy Birthday, Tom. May God continue to bless you.
If you would like to talk to Tom he is always ready to listen and pray for you. Call him at 813-784-8242.
Psalms 112:1
Praise ye the Lord.
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord,
that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Tom Curtis Testimony
September 20, 2014In Joshua 1:8 the Bible talks about success. My desire in life was to be very successful.
I thought I had reached my goal, I had a good family, a great business, and all the material things I had ever dreamed of.
I had planned to take 20 of my business associates to Put in Bay for the day on my motor yacht. When we got as far as the harbor light I got a radio call from the Coast Guard. They gave me instructions to go to a land line phone and call my home.
When I called home and was told something terrible happened.
My son Nick, 12 years old had been playing at home when gas spilled on him, and someone threw a match at him. He was burned over 80% of his body and the doctors told me his chance of survival was zero.
Champion Spark plug company offered to fly him to the Boston Shrine Hospital. After 3 months, I was told when I came in to go right up as he would not be with us much longer.
I held his hand and he asked me this question, “Dad, do you know Jesus Christ personally?” My answer was, “Nick, no one could possibly know Jesus personally, because he is dead.”
Nick said, “Dad, I know him.” and died.
I was broken and 9 years went by, until a new Christian came into my office and invited me to church on Wednesday night.
The Pastor preached a sermon that I thought was all about me. When he gave the invitation, I begged God to save me.
My life was changed immediately and promised God I would serve Him the rest of my life and tell everyone I could about a relationship with Jesus.
After I was saved I took every opportunity to learn more about God and lead others into a right relationship with Jesus.
I moved around the country and ended up in Atlanta, where I suffered 5 heart attacks and was told I had 3 years to live. I was in the hospital for 3 months, lost my business, my wife and all material possessions. I spent the next 3 years studying God’s word to prepare for ministry.
God raised me up and empowered me. I met Carolyn, we were married in 2001 and God led us to start SOS Events ministry. Our goal is to teach and train Christians to be soul winners and to see as many souls saved in America as possible through our ministry.
God has provided the abundant life for us as promised in His Word. We have seen hundreds of people who have become soul winners and thousands of people saved.

Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Tracts Are Important
August 21, 2014“When preaching and private talk are not available, you need to have a tract ready….Get good striking tracts, or none at all. But a touching gospel tract may be the seed of eternal life. Therefore, do not go out without your tracts.”
Charles Spurgeon
Are you in the habit of handing out tracts? Is it important? YES!
I felt my life was worthless, no one loved me and I decided to end my life by walking into Niagara Falls.
That morning I met with my boss, to finalize the work from the day before. He sensed that I was upset and prayed for me. As I was leaving he gave me a book and a tract.
I sat by the Falls, getting courage to jump in, and decided to read that tract.
It saved my life in two ways. I sincerely prayed the prayer on the back of that tract and immediately my life was changed. Jesus became my Savior on that day over 50 years ago.
God has used me in many ways since then. I now always have tracts in my purse, in the car available to give to someone. Carolyn Curtis

Ft. Madison, Iowa
July 15, 2014Fort Madison, Iowa is a small town that has a state prison. Many of the prison guards live in the town with their families. One of SOS team members, Linda, held a KIDS Club for the children. Sixty attended, some of them were kids from Christian families but ten children were saved. All were given “3 Things God Can Not Do” Bible tracts. Continue to pray for these young converts.

World War II Veteran Saved
June 23, 2014On the1st day of Summer, the Lord Jesus saved 9 souls @ the Auburndale, FL. Farmers/Flea Mkt. for His glory!!. There were (2 teens, 7 adults) from Footville, Wisconsin, Batesville, Texas & the Florida towns of Haines City, Mulberry, Wahneta, Polk City & Kissimmee Florida.
Today’s unique highlight came from Nicholas. He is a 90 year old WW2 Veteran in a wheel chair being pushed by his adult grandson. He was attracted to our “3 Things God Cannot Do” Gospel Board. With tears in his eyes, Nicholas said his wife for the past 55 years had died two weeks ago. He was heartbroken. The funeral left him searching for spiritual answers. God gave Nicholas the answer to his biggest question as he listened to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. At 1:35PM, Nicholas prayed out load in the public aisle at the flea market in repentance & faith toward Jesus Christ alone to save his soul.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us- ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Father and Sons Saved on Father’s Day
June 16, 2014
The Lord Jesus saved 7 precious souls Father’s Day @ the Auburndale, FL. Farmers/Flea Mkt. for His glory!!.
We saw the Lord save the souls of a Dad & his two sons. The dad had just spent 6 years in prison. Now he is free from prison and today, Jesus has set him free from the penalty of sin! We also saw the Lord save a grandfather who was spending time with his grandson this Father’s Day. Special days & holidays are great times to see the Lord reap a harvest of souls. We love this mission field!!

Alabama Salvation Story
May 29, 2014Interesting salvation story from Patty our SOS Event Leader in Alabama;
This past Saturday at Eastmont’s Yard Sale we had a lady accept Christ into her heart as her Lord and Savior (“Sally”), only to tell us afterwards that her husband is a Muslim!! She was so very excited to have Jesus in her heart and did not exhibit any signs of fear or worry about telling her husband…she even agreed to have us come for a home visit!!!
We Praise The Lord for what He is doing through SOS events. Please pray specifically for “Sally.”

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
